Satou attends Yuuji’s training, and watches Yuuji master his POE well enough to defeat a copy of the Rinne that sorta-killed him. Yuuji’s moving on to Unrestricted Spells 101, and Satou wants Marjorie to train him as well. Instead, she starts telling Satou about her experiences in New York City after the Great Depression. As the flashback is going on, Wilhelmina reads some books and trolls some forums, only to discover shocking news about “Pheles.”
After an unsuccessful battle in which Marjorie loses to a parking meter wearing a trenchcoat (Cavern of Scrupulus Impaling, Annaberg), Marjorie lucks out in that Annaberg is in too much of a rush to have his hired bodyguard, Sydonai, finish Marjorie off. Many Flame Hazes are gathering to fight the Tomogara Army, Revolution, in Europe, so Marjorie is stuck with the Summoner of Milky Ways, Eastledge, and his intern, the Hauler of Prevailing Ghouls, Yuri Chvojka (and the Marshal of Diminutive Lizards, Valac). Yuri is more interested in protecting humans than keeping the world’s balance, so Marjorie ditches him and runs off to the Empire State Building to try and foil Annaberg’s plan.
Finally, we get back to what made the first season of Shakugan no Shana bearable: flashbacks, exciting battles, and Marjorie surfing through the air on a book. I’d forgotten how sweet Marjorie’s moves are, but it was too bad Sydonai blindsided her (she was wearing an evening gown and everything!) for a cheap win. It’s ok, though, because I already know she owned him up in her bear form back in the future. I also like that Marjorie keeps a number of battle outfits ready, in case she has to get completely naked and fiery.
This Yuri guy definitely sucks though. He’s just another one of those well-intentioned brats who will either die or follow a road of good intentions to evil. Not only did he spend his time checking out Marjorie’s fine bottom instead of formulating a plan, he even hijacked her flashback with his own flashback! Wah, wah, wah, you got owned by a giant octopus, c’est la vie kiddo.

Did someone say Yuri!? Oh, it’s a guy. *disappointment*
“Wah, wah, wah, you got owned by a giant octopus, c’est la vie kiddo.”
lol
GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! I HATE LA TOYA JACKSON!!! *burns La Toya Playboy issue* *worships Michael Jackson statue*
err…i mean:
Be EVIIIL, but have my feelings too
Change my life wit Oprah and Maya Angeloo
But Scott rejected me, c’est la vie
Life is cruel, treats you unfairly
Even so, a God there must be
Mini-Me, you complete me!
JUUUUSSTTTT DA TWO OF UUUUSSS! UH HUH~! WE CAN MAKE IT IF WE TRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Just the two of uuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssss!!!! (a link for people who don’t know) :3 YOU AND I!!!
Oh, I forgot to mention the quick battle in which T-1000 kill-steals all of Marjorie’s targets with his tentacle blast.
Also, I can’t believe you mentioned La Toya…
lol, well, it was all thanks to your link! As soon as i heard c’est la vie, I immediately thought of “Just the Two of Us” Dr Evil ver, but the link instead lead to other references. I was scrolling down the list (still hoping the Dr. Evil reference would be there) but came across “C’est la Vie, a song by La Toya Jackson on her unreleased album Startin’ Over” and immediately went “GRRRRRRRR!!!!” (not GAR mind you… just GRR).
A tiny fact about me is that I’m a (well, not as much as before) Michael Jackson fanboy (and I know others are gonna think “so that explains why he likes loli/obsesses over Totali all the time/is gay” lol, but of course, I’m not gay, don’t worry, but theres nothing wrong with that either.) I didn’t like how La Toya said “My brother is a child molester!!!” back then, so I immediately disliked her (btw, I’m one of the very few who think Michael Jackson didn’t molest any children… you can shoot me now). I do feel sorry that her husband abused her…but yea..
ANYWAYS, T-1000! lol, I wish I watched the first/second season of Shana so I could see what you guys are talking about. :3
I hear you can just watch the movie and get a gist of what happened in the first season, which would probably be a better choice. The flashback episodes and the last battle were decent, but much of season 1 was actually rather boring.
The second season so far hasn’t been that great, but the last two episodes definitely picked up the pace a bit.
Hurr hurr, I’ll make sure to watch the movie, but I’m planning to watch the series anyways. I remember seeing this part where (I forget who) is watching this drama, and this guy was gonna kiss this girl, and she SMACKS him across the face! That scene was pure win, and it reminded me of Ninomiya-kun (the Minami-ke ver, not the harem show)
Speaking of alternate re-tellings, I still need to watch the AIR Movie :3
